Installation

You’ll need to download and install both R and RStudio.

This project uses renv to handle dependency management. To get this project set up on your own system, open the project in RStudio (and open the .Rproj file), install renv (install.packages("renv")), and run renv::init().

Environment variables

Edit .env_sample to fill in the variables and save it as .env.

Currently the only variable used is for MapboxGL to have a nicer basemap. You can sign up for a free Mapbox API key.

Data

All the data for this map is from NYCDB, a project of the Housing Data Coalition to provide access to public NYC housing data for the tenants movement.
